It is entirely possible that Banjo stumbled across that apparent 
violation of momentum by momentum being carried away by the 
electromagnetic field. But we will never know since he refuses to 
produce a writeup in sufficient detail for someone to reproduce his 
experiment, instead writing "Watch my videos!!!". Add his stubbornness 
that he insists this is something new that violates 
Newton/Einstein/Maxwell rather than a known existing behavior, you do 
get the incompetent tinkerer.
